Given the title of this post, I think the first reason should be that I am modest. I would never brag about myself like this except my friend @Pandafur (aka Pandora) tagged me on her blog. She says it’s something called an “interweb meme.” I don’t really know what that is. I suspect it is something like a computer virus and therefore not a good thing (are viruses ever good?), but what’s a capybara to do? Apparently I am infected. The parasitical meme requires me to post seven reasons why I am awesome and then to infect seven of my friends. That seems like a cruel thing to do but how can I help it if I am diseased?

So here are my seven reasons I am awesome.

I am a capybara.
Is it wrong of me to think that is special enough to make me awesome?

Me just being a capybara

I am a pet capybara.
There aren’t many pet capybaras and even fewer who get to share the house with their owers. I think this qualifies as something that makes me awesome.

Being a pet has its drawbacks, like having to get dressed up for Halloween.

I am the only capybara in the world with my own YouTube channel.
I admit there are some capybaras that live in zoos and get their videos on YouTube but I don’t think they have their own channel.
